Steps In Fitting R32/33 Rear Sub-frame To A31?

I believe the R32 GTST rear subframe (i.e. diff, axles, hubs and brakes) can bolt up directly to the rear of the A31 but what about other Skyline models. The reason I ask is because a buddy and I have sourced a rear subframe but we're not quite sure exactly which model Skyline it came out of, what we do know however is that it has a LSD as well as 2 pot brakes with "NISSAN" grooved in the calipers and HICAS.

What I want to know is if there are any problems to look out for when attempting to bolt up the entire subframe as a whole. Is it simple as pulling unbolting the old non HICAS, regular 2x3 bolt diff non-lsd sub-frame and bolting in the new one (i.e. no fabrication involved)?

OR

do we have to make adjustments?

I'm new to this so please bear with me.

All help appreciated.

r32 rear sub frame bolts straight in, just get a hi cas lock bar. when i did it the only proplem i encounted was the back brake lines needed to be made longer, only cost $40, and if you unclip the original cefiro flexable brake lines they will strech to reach to get you by. by the time you stuff around doing a back brake conversion it is quicker an easier to swap the whole sub frame, you can sell the old one aswell. but some say one of the bushes wear out. good luck. install pineapple bushes while you do it.

Thanks for the recommendations. About swapping non-hicas rear subframes and doing 5 hole conversions...in my country (Trinidad & Tobago) it is relatively easy to get an entire rear subframes from an older model Skyline (my mechanic has one lying around his yard doing absolutely nothing).

I will go the route of using the R32 rear-subframe and hopefully it should bolt straight up without much hassle.

Again, thanks for the heads up.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
